**Ramp Networks, Inc.

            NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

1. Nature of Operations

Ramp Networks, Inc. ("Ramp"), formerly Trancell Systems, Inc., a California corporation, was
incorporated on February 17, 1994 and re-incorporated in Delaware in June 1999. Ramp develops,
designs, manufactures and markets multi-user Internet access devices designed for small business and
home use. Ramp sells its products through distributors and value added resellers and to original
equipment manufacturers located in the United States and abroad.



2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by Ramp, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and include the accounts of Ramp Networks, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary (collectively the
"Company"). Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of the
Company, the unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at June 30, 2000
and the operating results and cash flows for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2000 and
1999.



The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1999 has been derived
from audited financial statements as of that date. These financial statements and notes should be
read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto,
included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.



The results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30,
2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future quarters or the
year ending December 31, 2000.



Use of Estimates in Preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements



The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition



Ramp's revenue consists principally of amounts earned from the sale of manufactured products.
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of title and risks of ownership, which generally occurs upon
product shipment. Certain agreements with distributors and retailers provide for rights of return,
co-op advertising, price protection, and stock rotation rights. Ramp has reviewed the requirements
of SFAS No. 48, "Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists", and has concluded that they have
sufficient history and experience to quantify reserves required for these provisions. Accordingly,
Ramp provides an allowance for returns and price adjustments and provides a warranty reserve at the
point of revenue recognition. Reserves are adjusted periodically based upon historical experience
and anticipated future returns, price adjustments, and warranty costs.

At June 30, 2000, the Company has recorded deferred revenue of $1.35 million related
to shipments of product to distributors whereby the Company has determined that the revenue
recognition criteria had not been met. Inventory related to these shipments amounted to $675,000.

In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101,
"Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements."  SAB No. 101 and related interpretations
summarize the SEC's view in applying generally accepted accounting principles to selected revenue
recognition issues.  The Company is required to apply the guidance in SAB No. 101 to its financial
statements no later than the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000.   Management is currently reviewing the
impact of SAB No. 101 on the Company's revenue recognition policy and the related impact on its
consolidated financial statements.  At this time, management does not believe SAB No. 101 will have
a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.



Comprehensive Loss



In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income," which Ramp adopted beginning on January 1, 1998. SFAS No. 130 establishes
standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of
general purpose financial statements. The objective of SFAS No. 130 is to report a measure of all
changes in equity of an enterprise that result from transactions and other economic events of the
period other than transactions with shareholders ("comprehensive loss"). Comprehensive loss is the
total of net loss and all other non-owner changes in equity. For the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company's comprehensive loss was equal to its net loss.



Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding. The Company issued 3,853,000 shares of common stock and converted all of
its outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock to common stock on June 22, 1999, the date of
the Company's initial public offering. Additionally, in July 1999, the underwriters of the initial
public offering exercised their over-allotment option to purchase 600,000 shares of the Company's
common stock.

Basic and diluted net loss per common share are the same in the accompanying condensed
consolidated statements of operations since potential common shares from conversion of preferred
stock and warrants, prior to their conversion to common stock,  stock options and shares subject to
repurchase are antidilutive for computing diluted net loss per common share. The Company evaluated
the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 98
and concluded that there are no nominal issuances of common stock or potential common stock which
would be required to be shown as outstanding for all periods as outlined in SAB No. 98.



Segment and Significant Customer Reporting



During 1998, Ramp adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information." SFAS No. 131 requires a new basis of determining reportable business segments,
i.e., the management approach. This
approach requires that business segment information used by management to assess performance and
manage company resources be the source for information disclosure.

On this basis, Ramp is organized and operates as one business segment, the design, development,
manufacture, and marketing of multi-user internet access devices designed for small business and
home use. The Company's long lived assets are primarily located in the United States.



Revenue by region as a percentage of total revenue is as follows:

Accounting For Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities



In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which requires companies to record derivative
financial instruments on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. Gains
or losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives would be accounted for depending
on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedging accounting. The key criterion for
hedge accounting is that the hedging relationship must be highly effective in achieving offsetting
changes in fair value or cash flows. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. Management does not believe this Statement will have a material
impact on the financial condition or results of the operations as the Company does not currently
hold any derivative instruments and does not engage in hedging activities.



Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation

In March 2000, the FASB issued Financial Standards Board Interpretation (FIN) No. 44,
"Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation - an Interpretation of APB
Opinion No. 25." FIN 44 addresses the application of APB 25 to clarify, among other issues, (i)
the definition of employee for purposes of applying APB 25, (ii) the criteria for determining
whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory plan, (iii) the accounting consequences of various
modifications to the terms of a previously fixed stock option or award, and (iv) the accounting for
an exchange of stock compensation awards in a business combination. FIN 44 is effective July 1,
2000, but certain conclusions cover specific events that occur after either December 15, 1998, or
January 12, 2000.  To the extent FIN 44 covers events occurring during the period after December 15,
1998, or January 12, 2000, but before the effective date of July 1, 2000, the effects of applying
the interpretation will be recognized on a prospective basis from July 1, 2000. The Company
currently is evaluating FIN 44 and does not expect that it will have a material effect on its
financial position or results of operations.

OVERVIEW

Ramp Networks is a leading provider of easy-to-use, reliable and affordable shared Internet
access solutions for the small office market, which includes small businesses, remote and branch
offices of large corporations, and home
offices. Our WebRamp product family allows multiple users in a small office to share the same
Internet connection simultaneously while optimizing each user's access speed. Our WebRamp product
family is a flexible and scalable platform that provides software-based routing and bridging
functionality to deliver Internet-enabled applications and services. Our products support existing
analog phone lines, as well as ISDN and security/VPN and increasingly support access technologies
such as DSL and cable modems. Our Connection Optimized Link Technology enables multiple users to
access the Internet simultaneously through regular phone lines and analog modems at up to three
times the access speed of a single analog connection.



We were incorporated in California in February 1994 and reincorporated in Delaware in June
1999. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Ramp Networks Private Limited, is incorporated in India and
performs research and development for us. From our inception in February 1994 through early 1995, we
were focused on developing products for the asynchronous transfer mode market. We subsequently
licensed this technology to a related party and focused on the small office market for shared
Internet access solutions. From early 1995 through May 1996, our operating activities were related
primarily to developing, prototyping and testing our first WebRamp product, staffing our
administrative, sales and marketing and operations organizations and establishing relationships with
Value Added Resellers (VAR's), Internet Service Providers (ISP's) and mail order catalogs for the
distribution of our products. In June 1996, we commenced shipments of our first ISDN-based WebRamp
product. The quarter ended March 31, 2000 was the first quarter that the Company has shipped volume
production units of all its DSL products, namely; ADSL - WebRamp 600I , SDSL WebRamp 500I and
WebRamp 510I, and IDSL - WebRamp 450i.

Our revenue is derived primarily from the sale of our WebRamp family of products. We market and
sell our products via a two-tier distribution system primarily to distributors, such as Ingram Micro
and Tech Data (in North America), who then resell our products to VAR's, selected retail outlets,
mail order catalogs and ISP's. These VAR's then sell our products to end-users. Additionally, we
also sell our products to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and with the advent of our DSL
portfolio will sell to VAR's and ISP's that work directly with DSL service providers or carriers.

The level of sales to any customer may vary from quarter to quarter. However, we expect that
sales to Ingram Micro and Tech Data will continue to represent a significant portion of our revenue.
Revenue from the Company's customers representing 10% or more of total revenues are summarized in
Item 1, Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, under "Segment and Significant
Customer Reporting".



The Company's international sales currently are U.S. dollar-denominated. As a result, an
increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies, particularly in China,
could make our products less competitive in international markets. In the future, we may elect to
invoice some of our international customers in local currency. Doing so will expose us to losses due
to fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the particular local currency. We may
choose to limit any currency exposure through the purchase of forward foreign exchange contracts or
other hedging strategies, but such strategies may not be successful in avoiding exchange-related
losses. See "Risk Factors . If We Are Not Successful in Expanding Our Business in International
Markets, Our Growth Will Suffer". Revenue by geographical region as a percentage of the
Company's total revenue is summarized in Item 1 Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements, under "Segment and Significant Customer Reporting".



Revenue is recognized upon transfer of title and risks of ownership, which generally occurs
upon product shipment. Certain agreements with distributors and retailers provide for rights of
return, co-op advertising, price protection
and stock rotation rights. We provide an allowance for returns and price adjustments and provide
a warranty reserve at the point of revenue recognition. Reserves are adjusted periodically based
upon historical experience and anticipated future returns, price adjustments and warranty costs.
During the three months ended June 30, 2000, the Company deferred $1.3 million of revenues related
to shipments to certain North American distributors on the basis that these shipments did not meet
the criteria for revenue recognition as defined by the Company's revenue recognition policy.



We generally expect to experience price pressure due to the impact of competition. Average
selling prices have varied considerably in the past based on such price pressure and also on the mix
of the various products shipped by the Company. Additionally, OEM unit pricing is generally lower
than distribution pricing. Pricing in the OEM market depends on the specific features and functional
content of the products sold, the degree of integration with the OEM's products, purchase volumes
and the level of sales and service support.

The Company uses "turn-key" suppliers for the purchase, assembly and packaging of all
products sold that require hardware components. From time to time the Company has made strategic
purchases of material components from vendors to ensure supply of critical components for its
products. Significant portions of the critical components used in the Company's products are multi-
source to ensure adequate supply to our turn-key vendors. Key components such as processors and
certain types of memory, including "flash" memory, are and have been a consistent variable
in the market place for both supply and price. As such the Company continually manages such supply
with vendors to meet the requirements of its own demand for finished products.



Until recently, our cost of revenue has declined as a percentage of revenue since we first
began shipping products. The initial higher cost of revenue included higher component and
manufacturing costs associated with lower initial production volumes, as well as overhead costs
which were applied to a lower number of units produced. As volumes have increased, our cost of
revenue has declined as a percentage of revenue as a result of lower costs in components,
manufacturing and overhead on a per-unit basis. Our gross margins are affected by fluctuations in
manufacturing volumes and component costs, and the mix of products sold. During the three months
ended June 30, 2000, gross margin as a percentage of revenue declined as compared to the three
months ended June 30, 1999. During the three months ended June 30, 2000, the Company's revenue
included significantly higher unit volumes of its new Broadband products. These products currently
have higher unit costs as volume production levels have not been achieved as yet, with the Company's
vendors that supply such products. As the Broadband product volumes increase, the cost per unit of
these products should reduce and should be reflected by higher gross margin as a percentage of
revenue. Although the Company expects the gross margin as a percentage of revenue to improve, the
product portfolio for Broadband products is varied and as such the manufacturing costs of the
different products vary also. Predicting the future mix of such volumes is difficult and as such we
cannot assure you that we will maintain or increase our gross margins as a percentage or
revenues.

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel expenses,
fees paid to consultants and outside service providers, and prototyping expenses related to the
design, development and testing of our products. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of
salaries, commissions and related expenses for personnel engaged in marketing, sales and support
functions, as well as costs associated with promotional and other
sales activities. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related
expenses for executive, finance and human resources personnel, professional fees, and other
corporate expenses. We expect expenses
relating to research and development, sales and marketing, general and administrative and
operations to increase in absolute dollars. However, the percentage of revenue that each of these
categories represents will vary
depending on the rate of our revenue growth and investments that may be required to support the
development of new products and our penetration of new markets.



Since our inception, we have incurred significant losses and, as of June 30, 2000, we had an
accumulated deficit of $59.7 million. These losses have resulted primarily from our activities to
develop our products, establish
brand recognition and to develop our distribution channels.



As of December 31, 1999, we had net operating loss carryforwards of $41 million for federal
purposes and $16 million for state purposes. The federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards
expire on various dates through
2019. We have provided a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, consisting
primarily of net operating loss carry-forwards, because of the uncertainty regarding their
realization. Further, these net operating loss
carry-forwards could be subject to limitations due to changes in our ownership resulting from
equity financing.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999

Revenue.   Revenue increased 27% to $5.8 million in the three months
ended June 30, 2000 from $4.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 1999. The increase was
primarily due to continued growth in the WebRamp 700 series of security products and growth in our
Broadband products dominated by the Company's line of SDSL and ADSL products servicing the
"broadband" market.

Gross margin.   The Company's total gross margin increased from $1.7
million, or 39% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $1.9 million, or 34% of
revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2000. The decline in gross margin as a percentage of
revenue resulted primarily from (1) Sales of Broadband products which are currently supplied by the
Company's vendors at lower volumes and therefore at higher unit prices and (2) A decline in analog
products selling prices due to competitive pressures and softening of demand in North America as
customers accelerate the transition to broadband technology.

Research and development expenses.   Research and development expenses
increased from $1.1 million, or 24% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $2.1
million, or 36% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2000. This increase reflects
significant activity on engineering projects associated with the introduction of the Company's new
Broadband products as well as efforts focused on integration of "Internet security" and
"voice-over-DSL" technologies. The Company expects research and development expenditures
to increase in the future as the Company  continues to invest in new technologies.

Sales and marketing expenses.   Sales and marketing expenses increased
from $2.2 million, or 48% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $5.0 million, or
86% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Sales and marketing expenses for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 reflects increased selling expenditures for the hire of new support staff
for the carrier organization to support the expansion into the Broadband/Security market.
Additionally, the Company has expanded its advertising, promotions and marketing support efforts in
both Europe and the Pacific Rim region to develop further markets for the Company's products.

General and administrative expenses.   General and administrative expenses
increased   from $0.7 million, or 15% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $2.0
million, or 35% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2000. The increase in general and
administrative expenses is due primarily to increases in recruiting and personnel expenses and a
provision for bad debts in the amount of $0.8 million.

Amortization of deferred stock compensation.   Amortization of deferred
stock compensation was $0.1 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. This amortization is associated with recorded deferred compensation of $2.5 million
related to stock options granted in the year ended December 31, 1998 and during the three months
ended March 31, 1999 at less than their deemed fair market value. The Company amortizes the deferred
compensation over the vesting periods of the applicable options.



Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999

Revenue.   Revenue increased 35% to $11.3 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2000 from $8.4 million in the six  months ended June 30, 1999. The increase was primarily
due to continued growth in the WebRamp 700 series of security products and growth in our Broadband
products dominated by the Company's line of SDSL and ADSL products servicing the
"broadband" market.

Gross margin.   The Company's total gross margin increased 32% from $3.0
million, or 36% of revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $3.7 million, or 33% of
revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The decline in gross margin as a percentage of
revenue resulted primarily from (1) Sales of Broadband products which are currently supplied by the
Company's vendors at lower volumes and therefore at higher unit prices and (2) A decline in analog
products selling prices due to competitive pressures and softening of demand in North America as
customers accelerate the transition to broadband technology.

Research and development expenses.   Research and development expenses
increased from $2.3 million, or 28% of revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $3.8
million, or 33% of revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2000. This increase reflects
significant activity on engineering projects associated with the introduction of the Company's new
Broadband products as well as efforts focused on integration of "Internet security" and
"voice-over-DSL" technologies. The Company expects research and development expenditures
to increase in the future as the Company  continues to invest in new technologies.

Sales and marketing expenses.   Sales and marketing expenses increased
from $4.3 million, or 51% of revenue, for the six  months ended June 30, 1999 to $9.5 million, or
84% of revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Sales and marketing expenses for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 reflects increased selling expenditures for the hire of new support staff
for the carrier organization to support the expansion into the Broadband/Security market.
Additionally, the Company has expanded its advertising, promotions and marketing support efforts in
both Europe and the Pacific Rim region to develop further markets for the Company's products.

General and administrative expenses.   General and administrative expenses
increased from $1.2 million, or 14% of revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $3.2
million, or 28% of revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The increase in general and
administrative expenses is due primarily to increases in recruiting and personnel expenses and a
provision for bad debts in the amount of $0.8 million.

Amortization of deferred stock compensation.   Amortization of deferred
stock compensation was $0.5 million or 6% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and $0.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. This amortization is associated with recorded
deferred compensation of $2.5 million related to stock options granted in the year ended December
31, 1998 and during the three months ended March 31, 1999 at less than their deemed fair market
value. The Company amortizes the deferred compensation over the vesting periods of the applicable
options.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal sources of liquidity as of June 30, 2000 consisted of $21.6 million in cash
equivalents and marketable securities, a $1.0 million fixed asset lease line, a working capital
credit facility with a borrowing limit of up to the lower of $5.0 million or 100% of eligible
accounts receivable and 50% of inventory and a $3.0 million bridge loan facility. As of June 30,
2000, we had utilized $1.0 million under the fixed asset lease line. Borrowings under the fixed
asset lease line bear interest at 7%, are payable ratably over a 36 month term, are subject to a 15%
termination payment and are secured by the fixed assets that are leased under the line. As of June
30, 2000, we had borrowed $3.0 million under the working capital credit facility. Borrowings under
this facility bear interest at 8.4%, are payable ratably over a 36 month term, are subject to a
termination payment of 12.5% and are secured by our receivables and inventory. Also as of June 30,
2000, we had borrowed $3.0 million under our bridge loan facility. Borrowings under this facility
bear interest at 14.6% and are payable ratably over a 36-month term. Certain of these debt
agreements contain provisions that limit the payment of cash dividends.

Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through the sale of stock, capital
equipment lease lines and working capital lines of credit.

Net cash used in operating activities was $16.8 million and $7.6 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The cash utilized in both periods was attributable
primarily to net losses and working capital required to fund the Company's growth in operations,
including inventory and accounts receivable.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $10.3 million for the six months ended June 30,
2000, consisting primarily of $12.0 million in maturities of marketable securities net of purchases
of new marketable securities. Additionally, the cash provided by investing activities for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 included the purchase of $1.7 million in property and equipment. Net cash
used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $0.2 million from the
purchase of property and equipment. The Company has planned capital commitments of approximately
$2.3 million for the year ending December 31, 2000.

Net cash used in financing activities was $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000
reflecting $1.2 million in the scheduled pay down of the Company's debt offset by $1.1 million in
cash generated from the issuance of common stock associated with the exercise of employee stock
options and shares of common stock purchased by employees under the Company's stock purchase plan. Net cash provided
by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $44.8 million of which $38.8 million came
from issuance of common stock and $6.3 million came from borrowings under the Company's debt
agreements.

We currently anticipate that our existing cash balances and available lines will not be
sufficient to meet our anticipated needs for working capital and capital expenditures through the
next 12 months and we will need to raise additional funds prior to the expiration of such period.
See "Risk Factors - We expect to Continue to Experience Negative Cash Flow From Operations and
May Be Unable to Meet Our Future Capital Requirements Through the Issuance of Additional
Securities".



Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure

Many computers, software, and other equipment include computer code in which calendar year data
is abbreviated to only two digits. As a result of this design decision, there were many concerns
that some of these systems would fail to operate or fail to produce correct results if "00" is
interpreted to mean 1900, rather than 2000 when the calendar recently advanced from December 31,
1999 to January 1, 2000. This problem was commonly referred to as the "year 2000 problem."

In anticipation of this prevailing issue, the Company completed extensive reviews and testing
to identify prospective problems and completed conversions to alternative solutions that could
handle the change to January 1, 2000. The Company experienced no major problems or failures either
directly or indirectly and as such there were no business interruptions caused by the date change.
Notwithstanding that the Company did not experience any major problems on the date change,
management is monitoring this area and will continue to do so to ensure that no major disruptions to
business occur related to this matter.

ITEM 3. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our interest income is sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates,
particularly since the majority of our investments are in short-term instruments. Due to the nature
of our short-term investments, we have concluded that there is no material interest rate risk
exposure and no quantitative tabular disclosures are required.



Risk Factors

We Have a Limited Operating History and Consequently Our Future Prospects are Difficult to
Evaluate

We were incorporated in February 1994 and began shipping our products commercially in April
1996. We have only been shipping products in volume since the second quarter of 1997. Because of our
limited operating history and the uncertain nature of the rapidly changing markets, which we serve,
we believe the prediction of future results of operations is difficult or impossible. Furthermore,
our prospects must be evaluated in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties
frequently encountered by companies in the early stage of their development. We may not be
successful in addressing these risks and our business strategy may not be successful.

We Have a History of Losses, We Expect Future Losses and We Cannot Assure You That We Will
Achieve or Maintain Profitability

We have incurred losses since we commenced operations in February 1994. We incurred net losses
of $6.3 million in 1996, $11.5 million in 1997, $13.4 million in 1998 and $13.2 million in 1999. As
of June 30, 2000, we had an accumulated deficit of $59.7 million. We have not achieved profitability
and although our revenue has grown in recent quarters, we cannot be certain that we will realize
sufficient revenue to achieve profitability. Even if we do achieve profitability, we cannot assure
you that we can sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. We
may not generate a sufficient level of revenue to offset these expenditures or be able to adjust
spending in a timely manner to respond to any unanticipated decline in revenue. If revenue grows
slower than we anticipate, if gross margins do not improve or if operating expenditures exceed our
expectations or cannot be adjusted accordingly, we may continue to experience significant losses on
a quarterly and annual basis.

We Expect to Continue to Experience Negative Cash Flow From Operations and May Be Unable to
Meet Our Future Capital Requirements Through the Issuance of Additional Securities

Since inception, we have experienced negative cash flow from operations and we expect to
continue to experience negative cash flow from operations for the foreseeable future. Therefore, we
have relied primarily on issuances of equity securities to fund our operations to date. We currently
anticipate that our existing cash balances and available lines will not be sufficient to meet our
anticipated needs for working capital and capital expenditures through the next 12 months and we
will need to raise additional funds prior to the expiration of such period. We cannot be certain
that additional financing, through the issuance of equity securities or otherwise, will be available
to us on favorable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available, or are not available on
acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of market opportunities, develop new products
or otherwise respond to competitive pressures which could adversely affect our ability to achieve
and sustain positive cash flow and profitability in the future.



Our Financial Results from Period to Period May Fluctuate as a Result of Several Factors, Any of
Which Could Adversely Affect Our Stock Price

We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results are not a good indication
of our future performance. In past periods our operating results have been below the expectations of
public market analysts and investors and the price of our common stock has fallen. It is possible
that this may also occur in future periods. Our revenue and operating results may vary significantly
from period to period due to a number of factors, many of which are not in our control. These
factors include:

> continued market acceptance of our products;fluctuations in demand for our products and services;variations in the timing of orders and shipments of our products;the timing of new product and service introductions by us or our
>      competitors;the mix of products sold and the mix of distribution channels through which they are sold;our ability to obtain sufficient supplies of sole or limited source components for our
> products;unfavorable changes in the prices of the components we purchase;our ability to achieve required cost reductions;our ability to attain and maintain production volumes and quality levels for our products; andour ability to integrate new technologies we develop or acquire into our products.

The amount and timing of our operating expenses generally will vary from quarter to quarter
depending on the level of actual and anticipated business activities. Research and development
expenses will vary as we develop new products. Sales and marketing expense fluctuations in past
periods have been due primarily to the level of sales and marketing expenses associated with new
product introductions. General and administrative expense fluctuations in past periods have been due
primarily to increases in personnel expense as we hire new employees and build the Company
infrastructure. In the past, we have experienced fluctuations in operating results. We have
experienced sharply increased revenue in periods that involved new product introductions and
significant sales to OEMs, with equally sharp decreases in revenue in subsequent periods as
distributors and OEMs complete their inventory build-up process. Furthermore, we have a limited
backlog of orders, and revenue for any future quarter is difficult to predict. Supply, manufacturing
or testing constraints could result in delays in the delivery of our products. Any delay in the
product deployment schedule of one or more of our new products would likely adversely affect our
operating results for a particular period.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to sustain or improve our gross margins in the
future, or that we will be able to offset future price declines with cost reductions. As a result,
we may experience substantial period-to-period fluctuations in future operating results and declines
in gross margins. A variety of factors affect our gross margins, including the following:

> the type of distribution channel through which we sell our products;the volume of products manufactured;our product sales mix;the average selling prices of our products; andthe effectiveness of our cost reduction efforts.

We also anticipate that orders for our products may vary significantly from period to period.
As a result, operating expenditures and inventory levels in any given period could be
disproportionately high. In some circumstances, customers may delay purchasing our current products
in favor of next-generation products, which could affect our operating results in any given period.



We May Experience Significant Variability in Our Quarterly Revenue Due to Our Reliance on
Indirect Sales Channels and the Variability of Our Sales Cycles

The timing of our revenue is difficult to predict because of our reliance on indirect sales
channels and the length and variability of our sales cycle. The length of our sales cycle may vary
substantially from customer to customer depending upon the size of the order and the distribution
channel through which our products are sold. Sales from our distributors to our VARs typically take
one month to complete. Sales to our larger end-user accounts, who buy larger quantities of our
products for distribution to their multiple offices, typically take two to three months to complete
and it typically takes nine months or more to establish volume sales contracts with our OEMs.
Furthermore, the purchase of our products by end-users often represents a significant and strategic
decision regarding their communications infrastructures and typically involves significant internal
procedures associated with the evaluation, testing, implementation and acceptance of new
technologies. This evaluation process frequently results in a lengthy sales process which is often
subject to significant delays as a result of our customers' budgetary constraints and internal
acceptance reviews. If orders forecasted for a specific customer in a particular quarter do not
occur in that quarter, our operating results for that quarter could be adversely affected.

If a Distributor or OEM Cancels or Delays a Large Purchase, Our Revenue May Decline and the
Price of Our Stock May Fall

To date, a limited number of distributors and OEM customers have accounted for a significant
portion of our revenue. If any of our major distributors or OEMs stops or delays its purchase of our
products, our revenue and profitability would be adversely affected. We anticipate that sales of our
products to relatively few customers will continue to account for a significant portion of our
revenue. In the six month period ended June 30,2000, sales to Ingram Micro accounted for 22% of our
revenue, sales to Network Associates/MiCio.com accounted for 21% of our revenue, sales to Tech Data
accounted for 18% of our revenue and sales to Xiao Tong accounted for 13% of our revenue. We cannot
assure you that our current customers will continue to place orders with us, that orders by existing
customers will continue at the levels of previous periods or that we will be able to obtain orders
from new customers.

Because our expense levels are based on our expectations as to future revenue and to a large
extent are fixed in the short term, a substantial reduction or delay in sales of our products,
unexpected returns from resellers or the loss of any significant distributor, reseller or OEM could
adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. Although our financial performance
depends on large orders from a few key distributors, resellers and OEMs, we do not have binding
commitments from any of them. For example:

> our distributors, resellers and OEMs can stop purchasing or marketing our products at any time;our reseller agreements generally are not exclusive and are for one year terms, with no
> obligation of the resellers to renew their agreements with us;our reseller agreements provide for discounts based on expected or actual volumes of products
> purchased or resold in a given period;our reseller and OEM agreements generally do not require minimum purchases; andour customers may, under certain circumstances, return products to us.

If We Fail to Enhance Our Existing Products or Develop and Introduce New Products and Features
in a Timely Manner to Meet Changing Customer Requirements and Emerging Industry Standards, Our
Ability to Grow Our Business Will Suffer

The market for shared Internet access solutions is characterized by rapidly changing
technologies and short product life cycles. Our future success will depend in large part upon our
ability to:

> identify and respond to emerging technological trends in the market;develop and maintain competitive products;enhance our products by adding innovative features that differentiate our products from those
> of our competitors;bring products to market on a timely basis at competitive prices;respond effectively to new technological changes or new product announcements by  others; andrespond to emerging broadband access technologies such as DSL and cable modems.

We will not be competitive unless we continually introduce new products and product
enhancements that meet these emerging standards. In the future, we may not be able to effectively
address the compatibility and interoperability issues that arise as a result of technological
changes and evolving industry standards.

The technical innovations required for us to remain competitive are inherently complex, require
long development cycles and are dependent in some cases on sole source suppliers. We will be
required to continue to invest in research and development in order to attempt to maintain and
enhance our existing technologies and products, but we may not have the funds available to do so.
Even if we have sufficient funds, these investments may not serve the needs of customers or be
compatible with changing technological requirements or standards. Most development expenses must be
incurred before the technical feasibility or commercial viability of new or enhanced products can be
ascertained. Revenue from future products or product enhancements may not be sufficient to recover
the associated development costs.

If We Fail To Develop and Expand Our Indirect Distribution Channels, Our Business Could Suffer

Our product distribution strategy focuses primarily on continuing to develop and expand our
indirect distribution channels through distributors, resellers and OEMs, as well as expanding our
field sales organization. If we fail to develop and cultivate relationships with significant
resellers, or if these resellers are not successful in their sales efforts, our product sales may
decrease and our operating results may suffer. Many of our resellers also sell products that compete
with our products. In addition, our operating results will likely fluctuate significantly depending
on the timing and amount of orders from our resellers. We cannot assure you that our resellers will
market our products effectively or continue to devote the resources necessary to provide us with
effective sales, marketing and technical support.

In order to support and develop leads for our indirect distribution channels, we plan to
significantly expand our field sales and support staff. We cannot assure you that this internal
expansion will be successfully completed, that the cost of this expansion will not exceed the
revenue generated or that our expanded sales and support staff will be able to compete successfully
against the significantly more extensive and well-funded sales and marketing operations of many of
our current or potential competitors. Our inability to effectively establish our distribution
channels or manage the expansion of our sales and support staff would adversely affect our ability
to grow and increase revenue.

Average Selling Prices of Our Products May Decrease, Which May Affect Our Gross Margins

The average selling prices for our products may be lower than expected as a result of
competitive pricing pressures, promotional programs and customers who negotiate price reductions in
exchange for longer term purchase commitments. The pricing of products sold to our OEMs depends on
the specific features and functions of the product, the degree of integration with the OEM's
products, purchase volumes and the level of sales and service support. Generally, the market has
reflected pricing pressures for both ISDN and analog based products and we expect such price
pressures from competition to continue in the future. Additionally, we have seen aggressive pricing
in the market for DSL-based products and with the higher cost per unit to manufacture than the ISDN
and analog products, we may experience gross margin percentage reductions as we continue to move our
portfolio of products to a higher mix of DSL-based products. As such, we cannot assure you that we
will be successful in developing and introducing on a timely basis new products with enhanced
features that can be sold at higher gross margins.

If We Are Unable to Lower the Cost of Our Products, Purchasers May Buy From Our Competitors
and Our Financial Results Would Suffer

Certain of our competitors currently offer Internet access products at prices lower than ours.
Market acceptance of our products will depend in part on reductions in the unit cost of our
products. Our cost reduction efforts may not allow us to keep pace with competitive pricing
pressures or lead to improved gross margins. Many of our competitors are larger and manufacture
products in significantly greater quantities than we intend to for the foreseeable future.
Consequently, these competitors have more leverage in obtaining favorable pricing from suppliers and
manufacturers. In order to remain competitive, we must reduce the cost of manufacturing our products
through design and engineering changes. We may not be successful in redesigning our products. Even
if we are successful, our redesign may be delayed or may contain significant errors and product
defects. In addition, any redesign may not result in sufficient cost reductions to allow us to
significantly reduce the list price of our products or improve our gross margins. Reductions in our
manufacturing costs will require us to use more highly integrated components in future products and
may require us to enter into high volume or long-term purchase or manufacturing agreements. Volume
purchase or manufacturing agreements may not be available on acceptable terms. We could incur
expenses without related revenue if we enter into a high volume or long-term purchase or
manufacturing agreement and then decide that we cannot use the products or services offered by such
agreement.

Our Market Is In An Early Stage of Development and Our Products May Not Achieve Widespread
Market Acceptance

Our success will depend upon the widespread commercial acceptance of shared Internet access
products by small offices. Small offices have only recently begun to deploy shared Internet access
products, and the market for these products is not fully developed. If the single Internet access
devices, such as analog modems or ISDN, DSL and cable modems, currently utilized by many small
offices are deemed sufficient even though they do not enable shared access, then the market
acceptance of our products may be slower than expected. Potential users of our products may have
concerns regarding the security, reliability, cost, and ease of use and capability of our products.
We cannot accurately predict the future growth rate or the ultimate size of the small office market
for shared Internet access solutions.

We Depend on Contract Manufacturers for Substantially All of Our Manufacturing Requirements
and We May Be Unable to Successfully Expand Our Manufacturing Operations as We Grow

We have developed a highly out-source contract manufacturing capability for the production of
our products. Therefore, we rely on third party contract manufacturers to procure components,
assemble, test and package our products. Our primary turn-key manufacturing partners are Micron
Custom Manufacturing Services, Inc., Discopy Labs Corporation and SMT Unlimited, Inc. Any
interruption in the operations of one or more of these contract manufacturers or delays in their
shipment of products would adversely affect our ability to meet scheduled product deliveries to our
customers.

We intend to regularly introduce new products and product enhancements that will require that
we rapidly achieve volume production by coordinating our efforts with those of our suppliers and
contract manufacturers. The inability of our contract manufacturers to provide us with adequate
supplies of high quality products or the loss of any of our contract manufacturers would cause a
delay in our ability to fulfill orders while we obtain a replacement manufacturer. In addition, our
inability to accurately forecast the actual demand for our products could result in supply,
manufacturing or testing capacity constraints. These constraints could result in delays in the
delivery of our products or the loss of existing or potential customers.

Although we perform random spot testing on manufactured products, we rely on our contract
manufacturers for assembly and primary testing of our products. Any product shortages or quality
assurance problems could increase the costs of manufacturing, assembling or testing our products.



We Purchase Several Key Components of Our Products from Sole or Limited Sources and Could Lose
Sales If These Sources Fail to Satisfy Our Supply Requirements

We currently purchase several key components used in the manufacture of our products from sole
or limited sources and are dependent upon supply from these sources to meet our needs. We are likely
to encounter shortages and delays in obtaining components in the future which could adversely affect
our ability to meet customer orders. Our principal sole sourced components include microprocessors,
line interface integrated circuits, modem integrated circuits, DRAMs, transformers, selected other
integrated circuits, and plastic tooled enclosures.

We use a rolling six-month forecast based on anticipated product orders to determine our
material requirements. Lead times for materials and components we order vary significantly, and
depend on factors such as specific supplier, contract terms and demand for a component at a given
time. Our components that have long lead times include power converters, ISDN integrated circuits,
DSL integrated circuits, flash memories, DRAMs and SRAMs. If orders do not match forecasts, we may
have excess or inadequate inventory of certain materials and components, which could harm our
business.

Although we enter, either directly or through our contract manufacturers, into purchase orders
with our suppliers for components based on our forecasts, we do not have any guaranteed supply
arrangements with these suppliers. Any extended interruption in the supply of any of the key
components currently obtained from a sole or limited source could affect our ability to meet
scheduled product deliveries to customers. We cannot assure you that, as our demand for these
components increases, we will be able to obtain these components in a timely manner in the future.
In addition, financial or other difficulties facing our suppliers or significant worldwide demand
for the components they provide could adversely affect the availability of these components. If we
are unable to obtain, either directly or through our contract manufacturers, a sufficient supply of
components from our current sources, we could experience difficulties in obtaining alternative
sources or in altering product designs to use alternative components. Resulting delays or reductions
in product shipments could damage customer relationships. Further, we may also be subject to
increases in component costs.

The Market in Which We Sell Our Products is Intensely Competitive and Our Business Would Be
Adversely Affected If We Lose Market Share or Otherwise Fail to Successfully Compete in This
Market

We compete in a new, rapidly evolving and highly competitive market. We expect competition to
persist and intensify in the future. Our current and potential competitors offer a variety of
competitive products, including shared Internet access devices such as the products offered by 3Com,
thin servers, and high-end networking equipment such as routers and switches offered by companies
such as Lucent, Cisco, Intel, Efficient and Netopia.

Many of our competitors are substantially larger than we are and have significantly greater
financial, sales and marketing, technical, manufacturing and other resources and more established
distribution channels. These competitors may be able to respond more rapidly to new or emerging
technologies and changes in customer requirements or devote greater resources to the development,
promotion and sale of their products than we can. Furthermore, some of our competitors may make
strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties
to increase their ability to rapidly gain market share by addressing the needs of our prospective
customers. These competitors may enter our existing or future markets with solutions that may be
less expensive, provide higher performance or additional features or be introduced earlier than our
solutions. Given the market opportunity in the shared Internet access market, we also expect that
other companies may enter our market with better products and technologies. If any technology that
is competing with ours is more reliable, faster, and less expensive or has other advantages over our
technology, then the demand for our products and services would decrease, which would seriously harm
our business.



We expect our competitors to continue to improve the performance of their current products and
introduce new products or new technologies as industry standards and customer requirements evolve
that may supplant or provide lower cost alternatives to our products. Successful new product
introductions or enhancements by our competitors could reduce the sales or market acceptance of our
products and services, perpetuate intense price competition or make our products obsolete. To be
competitive, we must continue to invest significant resources in research and development, sales and
marketing and customer support. We cannot be sure that we will have sufficient resources to make
such investments or that we will be able to make the technological advances necessary to be
competitive. As a result, we may not be able to compete effectively against our competitors. Our
failure to maintain and enhance our competitive position within the market may seriously harm our
business.

Increased competition is likely to result in price reductions, reduced gross margins, longer
sales cycles and loss of market share, any of which would seriously harm our business and results of
operations. We cannot be certain that we will be able to compete successfully against current or
future competitors or that competitive pressures will not seriously harm our business.



We Have Experienced Significant Growth in our Business in Recent Periods and Our Failure to
Effectively Manage This Growth Will Adversely Affect Our Business

We have rapidly and significantly expanded our operations in recent periods and anticipate that
further significant expansion will be required to address potential growth in our customer base and
market opportunities. This expansion has placed, and is expected to continue to place, significant
strain on our engineering, managerial, administrative, operational, financial and marketing
resources, and increased demands on our systems and controls. To exploit the market for our
products, we must develop new and enhanced products while managing anticipated growth in sales by
implementing effective planning and operating processes. To manage the anticipated growth of our
operations, we will need to:

> improve existing and implement new operational, financial and management information controls,
> reportingsystems and procedures;hire, train and manage additional qualified personnel;continue to expand and upgrade our core technologies; andeffectively manage multiple relationships with our customers, suppliers, distributors and other
> third parties.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to effectively manage the expansion of our
operations, that our systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support our operations or
that the executive management team will be able to achieve the rapid execution necessary to fully
exploit the market opportunity for our products and services.  Any failure to effectively manage our
growth could harm our business.

We Depend on Our Key Personnel Who May Not Continue to Work For Us

Our future success depends in large part upon the continued services of our key technical,
sales and senior management personnel, none of whom is bound by an employment agreement. The loss of
any of our senior management or other key research, development, sales and marketing personnel,
particularly if lost to competitors, could harm our business. In particular, the services of Mahesh
Veerina, President and Chief Executive Officer, would be difficult to replace.

We expect that we will need to hire additional personnel in all areas. The competition for
qualified personnel in our industry is intense, particularly in the San Francisco Bay Area where our
corporate headquarters are located and in Hyderabad, India where we conduct a significant portion of
our research and development operations. At times, we have experienced difficulty in hiring and
retaining personnel with appropriate qualifications, particularly in technical areas. If we do not
succeed in attracting new personnel, or retaining and motivating existing personnel, our business
will be adversely affected.





If We Do Not Provide Adequate Product Support and Training to Our Resellers Our Sales Could Be
Adversely Affected

Our ability to achieve our planned sales growth, retain current and future customers and expand
our network of resellers will depend in part upon the quality of our customer service and product
support operations. We rely primarily on our resellers to provide the product support and training
required by our customers particularly during the initial deployment and implementation of our
products. We may not have adequate personnel to provide the levels of support and product training
our resellers may require during initial product deployment or on an ongoing basis to adequately
support our customers. We also provide direct customer service and support to the end-users of our
products. Our inability to provide sufficient support to our customers and resellers could delay or
prevent the successful deployment of our products and could reduce our overall sales volumes. In
addition, our failure to provide adequate support could adversely impact our reputation and our
relationships with customers and resellers and could prevent us from gaining new customers or
expanding our reseller network.

If Our Products Contain Undetected Defects and Errors We Could Incur Significant Unexpected
Expenses, Experience Product Returns and Lost Sales, and Be Subject to Product Liability Claims



Our products are complex and may contain undetected defects, errors or failures, particularly
when first introduced or as new enhancements and versions are released. We cannot assure you that,
despite our testing procedures, defects and errors will not be found in new products or in new
versions or enhancements of existing products after commencement of commercial shipments. Any
defects or errors in our products discovered in the future could result in adverse customer
reactions, negative publicity regarding us and our products, delays in market acceptance of our
products, product returns, lost sales and unexpected expenses.

Sales and support of our products generally involve the risk of product liability claims.
Although our customer license agreements typically contain provisions designed to limit our exposure
to these claims, it is possible that these limitation of liability provisions may not be effective
as a result of federal, state or local laws or ordinances or unfavorable judicial decisions. A
successful product liability claim brought against us could harm our business.



If We Are Not Successful in Expanding Our Business in International Markets, Our Growth Will
Suffer

As part of our strategy to address the global needs of our customers and partners, we have
committed significant resources to opening international offices and expanding our international
sales and support channels in advance of revenue. We cannot assure you that our efforts to develop
international sales and support channels will be successful. Moreover, international sales are
subject to a number of risks, including changes in foreign government regulations and communications
standards, export license requirements, tariffs and taxes, other trade barriers, difficulty in
collecting accounts receivable, difficulty in managing foreign operations, and political and
economic instability. To the extent our customers may be impacted by currency devaluations or
general economic crises, the ability of these customers to purchase our products could be adversely
affected. Payment cycles for international customers are typically longer than those for customers
in the United States. We cannot assure you that foreign markets for our products will not develop
more slowly than currently anticipated. In addition, if the relative value of the U.S. dollar in
comparison to the currency of our foreign customers should increase, the resulting effective price
increase of our products to these foreign customers could result in decreased sales.

We anticipate that our foreign sales will generally be invoiced in U.S. dollars and,
accordingly, we do not currently plan to engage in foreign currency hedging transactions. However,
as we expand our international operations, we may allow payment in foreign currencies and exposure
to losses in foreign currency transactions may increase. We may choose to limit any currency
exposure through the purchase of forward foreign exchange contracts or other hedging strategies. We
cannot assure you that any currency hedging strategy we may adopt would be successful in avoiding
exchange related losses.



If Political, Social or Economic Developments in India Adversely Affect Our Research and
Development Operations in India, Our Ability to Introduce New and Enhanced Products Would Be Harmed
and Our Sales May Suffer

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Ramp Networks Private Limited, is incorporated in India and a
substantial number of our research and development personnel are located in India. Consequently, our
business may be affected by changes in exchange rates and controls, interest rates, government of
India policies, including taxation policy, as well as political, social and economic developments
affecting India.

In the past, the government of India has adopted policies that have resulted in the
nationalization of some industries. We cannot assure you that economic policies adopted by the
government of India will not result in the expropriation of our business activities in India or
otherwise impair or prohibit our current research and development operations in India. Furthermore,
there is increasing competition for experienced engineers in India and we cannot assure you that we
will be successful in attracting and retaining sufficient engineering personnel to support our
research and development operations in India which we expect to expand in the future.

Our Products Must Comply With Complex Government Regulations Which May Prevent Us From
Sustaining Our Revenue or Achieving Profitability

In the United States, our products must comply with various regulations and standards defined
by the Federal Communications Commission and Underwriters Laboratories. Internationally, products
that we develop may be required to comply with standards established by telecommunications
authorities in various countries as well as with recommendations of the International
Telecommunications Union. If we fail to obtain timely domestic or foreign regulatory approvals or
certificates, we would not be able to sell our products where these regulations apply, which may
prevent us from sustaining our revenue or achieving profitability.

If Internet Usage Declines or the Internet Infrastructure Is Not Adequately Maintained and
Expanded, Demand for Our Products May Decline

The Internet has recently begun to develop and is rapidly evolving. As a result, the commercial
market for products designed to enable high-speed access to the Internet has only recently begun to
develop. Our success will depend in large part on increased use of the Internet and other networks
based on Internet protocol by corporate telecommuters and small offices. Critical issues concerning
the commercial use of the Internet remain unresolved and are likely to affect the development of the
market for our products. These issues include security, reliability, cost, ease of access,
government regulation and quality of service. The adoption of the Internet for commerce and
communications, particularly by enterprises that have historically relied upon alternative means of
commerce and communications, generally requires the acceptance of a new method of conducting
business and exchanging information. The recent growth in the use of the Internet has caused
frequent periods of performance degradation that have prompted efforts to upgrade the Internet
infrastructure. Any perceived degradation in the performance of the Internet as a whole could
undermine the benefits of our products. Potentially increased performance and other benefits
provided by our products and the products of others are ultimately limited by, and are reliant upon,
the speed and reliability of the Internet backbone itself. Consequently, the emergence and growth of
the market for our products will depend on improvements being made to the entire Internet
infrastructure to alleviate overloading and congestion.



If We Are Unable to Adequately Protect Our Intellectual Property Rights Other Companies May
Use our Intellectual Property to Develop Competitive Products that May Reduce Demand for Our
Products

We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and restrictions
on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. We cannot assure you that any issued or
pending patents will protect our intellectual property or that they will not be challenged by third
parties. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not independently develop similar
or competing technology or design around any patents that may be issued.

We also enter into confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, consultants and
corporate partners, and control access to and distribution of our software, documentation and other
proprietary information. In addition, we provide our products to end-users primarily under "shrink-
wrap" license agreements included in the packaging. These agreements are not negotiated with or
signed by the licensee, and thus these agreements may not be enforceable in some jurisdictions.
Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or
otherwise obtain and use our products or technology. We cannot assure you that these precautions
will prevent misappropriation or infringement of our intellectual property. Monitoring unauthorized
use of our products is difficult, and we cannot assure you that the steps we have taken will prevent
misappropriation of our technology, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect
our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States.

Some of our OEM agreements also provide manufacturing rights and access to our intellectual
property and source code upon the occurrence of specified conditions of default. If we were to
default on these agreements, our OEMs could use our intellectual property and source code to develop
and manufacture competing products, which would adversely affect our performance and ability to
compete.

We May Be Subject to Intellectual Property Infringement Claims That are Costly to Defend and
Could Limit our Ability to Use Certain Technologies in the Future

Our industry is characterized by the existence of a large number of patents and frequent claims
and related litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. In particular,
leading companies in the data communications and networking markets have extensive patent portfolios
with respect to modem and networking technology. From time to time, third parties, including these
leading companies, have asserted and may assert exclusive patent, copyright, trademark and other
intellectual property rights to technologies and related standards that are important to us. We
expect that we may increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the numbers of products and
competitors in the small office market for shared Internet access solutions grow and the
functionality of products overlaps.

In March 1999, we received a letter from NovaWeb Technologies, Inc. (NovaWeb) alleging that
certain of our products may infringe one of NovaWeb's patents pertaining to intelligent modem
bonding technology. On May 21, 1999, NovaWeb filed a complaint in the United States District Court
Northern District of California against us alleging infringement of this patent. In February 2000
the Company and Novaweb signed a Settlement and Patent License Agreement whereby the Company will
pay NovaWeb a 1% royalty on net sales of certain of the Company's products commencing February 15,
2000. As consideration, the Company pre-paid to NovaWeb $350,000 in future royalties. The maximum
royalty payable under this non-exclusive worldwide license agreement is $1,500,000. In relation to
this agreement, NovaWeb has filed a dismissal for all claims.

We may in the future initiate claims or litigation against third parties for infringement of
our proprietary rights to determine the scope and validity of our proprietary rights. Any such
claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation and diversion of
technical and management personnel, or require us to develop non-infringing technology or enter into
royalty or licensing agreements. Such royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be
available on acceptable terms, if at all. In the event of a successful claim of infringement and our
failure or inability to develop non-infringing technology or license the proprietary rights on a
timely basis, our business would be harmed.



Any Acquisitions We Make Could Adversely Affect Our Business

As part of our business strategy, we expect to review acquisition prospects that would
complement our existing business or enhance our technological capabilities. Future acquisitions by
us could result in large and immediate write-offs, the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities
or amortization expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets, any of which could
materially and adversely affect our results of operations. Furthermore, acquisitions entail numerous
risks and uncertainties, including: difficulties in the assimilation of operations, personnel,
technologies, products and the information systems of the acquired companies;

> diversion of management's attention from other business concerns;risks of entering geographic and business markets in which we have no or limited prior
> experience; andpotential loss of key employees of acquired organizations.

Although we do not currently have any agreement with respect to any material acquisitions, we
may make acquisitions of complementary businesses, products or technologies in the future. We cannot
be certain that we would be able to successfully integrate any businesses, products, technologies or
personnel that might be acquired in the future, and our failure to do so could adversely affect our
business.

Future Issuances of Additional Securities May Adversely Affect Our Stockholders

In the future, we will be required to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity,
equity-related or debt securities to take advantage of market opportunities, develop new products,
pursue acquisition opportunities or otherwise respond to competitive pressures. The issuance of
additional securities may be dilutive to our existing stockholders. Furthermore, securities we may
issue in the future could have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our existing
stockholders.

Stock Market Volatility

The stock market in general, and the technology sector in particular, has experienced
volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These
broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock,
regardless of our actual operating performance. As a result, Ramp's stock price may be extremely
volatile.





PART II.	OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  Legal Proceedings

See "Risk factors--We May Be Subject to Intellectual Property
Infringement Claims That are Costly to Defend and Could Limit our Ability to Use Certain
Technologies in the Future".

On October 13th, 1999, the Company and certain former employees of the Company
appeared in the United States District Court Northern District of California in San Jose and agreed
to a settlement of claims made by the former employees in exchange for cash and  shares of common
stock of the Company. The dispute between the parties was associated with the prior acquisition by
the Company of certain technologies and assets in June 1998. The estimated cost associated with this
settlement was included in the Legal and severance cost charge included in the Statement of
Operations for the year ended December 31, 1999. The parties to the dispute signed a settlement
agreement on January 10, 2000 and the dispute was formally dismissed on February 7, 2000.

In March 1999, the Company received a letter from NovaWeb Technologies , Inc. (NovaWeb)
alleging that certain of the Company's products may have infringed on NovaWeb's patents pertaining
to intelligent modem bonding technology. On May 21, 1999, NovaWeb filed a complaint in the United
States District Court Northern District of California against the Company alleging infringement of
this patent. In February 2000, the Company and NovaWeb signed a Settlement and Patent License
Agreement whereby the Company will pay NovaWeb a 1% royalty on net sales of certain of the Company's
products commencing February 15, 2000. As consideration, the Company paid NovaWeb $350,000 as a
prepayment for future royalties. The maximum cumulative royalty payable under this non-exclusive
worldwide license agreement is $1,500,000. In relation to this agreement NovaWeb has filed a
dismissal for all claims.

Additionally, from time to time the Company is involved in certain other legal proceedings in
the ordinary course of business. None of such proceedings are expected to have a material adverse
impact on the Company's business, results of operations or financial condition.
